I wish we could talk again
Like we used to years ago
You should be here right now
I wish you didn’t have to go
The voice whispering in my head
A voice so beloved yet dead
A voice I hear and sometimes hate
Because it’s gone away
What did I last say to you
I don’t even remember
Goodbyes are so frustrating
More if you don’t say them
I miss the things I never had
Though I don’t know what they are
I miss the time and the place
Before we were pulled apart
I’m not myself right now
The air pushed from my lungs
My breath a frightened child
Hiding in the dark, waiting
I wish we could go back
Before we forgot what was real
The voice shattering in my head
A voice so treasured never dead
What did you last say to me
I don’t even remember
I miss the things I always had
I miss the future because it’s past.
Be thankful
In the blink of an eye
Everything changes.
Heart-breaking. <3
It definitely came from my heart. 🙂
Very beautifully said.
Thank you. 🙂
This is beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. My late husband’s voice is what I hear in my head. It is he I see out of the corner of my eye and who I wish I would see tomorrow. But he has been gone nineteen years and there are just days I hear his voice and turn but no one is there. Hugs, Barbara
I’m glad this touched you Barbara. 🙂
I believe you can hear him because those who touch our hearts stay in them forever. Bug hugs, Donna
